I was never that interested in the movie and the commercials were irritating as hell! Insidious. Insidious. Insidious. But when my friends saw it they said it was one of the scariest movies they've ever saw, even scarier than The Exorcist and Paranormal Activity. AND ITS SO TRUE! That movie scared the c**p out of me. But then again, I dont know if I'd pick it up.

i honestly didn't think twice about this movie. it didn't seem to stick around theatres for too long. but after so many glowing reviews from members here...i will definitely be checking this one out...maybe even a blind buy.

The consensus is correct. The last 20 minutes are ridiculous.

I agree with this assessment. There were some inventive scares, but it devolved quickly in the third act. If you want to see Drag Me to Hell via the makers of Saw, this is your ticket.

I envy anybody who can get that scared by a movie. I genuinely love getting the creeps. Its a rush, but it very rarely happens to me with modern horror movies. I think [REC] was the last one that came close.

I like to have a good time and I think getting scared is something so many horror films have lacked so I guess I KIND of like getting scared but so many "horror" movies don't scare me that I forget the feeling. It's the same as comedies tho, I like to laugh and it's fun to be scared but lately if a movie(such as this) gets the job done it makes it tough to sleep sometimes.

Haha, I totally see what you're saying. After seeing "The Blair Witch Project", I seriously could not sleep the same night. And when I thought about it, it made it that much worse.

I dont agree with that consensus. The entire film was terrifying even when stuff was just happening and stuff was popping out and you knew it was coming. It was honestly the scariest movie ever made to me. The last twenty minutes were so suspenseful and an utter nightmare. I never thought The Exorcist was scary, but if it was considered the scariest movie ever made then this definitely beats it.

i DEFINITELY think the 1st half is freaking AWESOME but once the reveal/explanation is shown and we venture into said reveal/explanation world it becomes kinda cheesy. then the last 5 minutes are AMAZING again! LOL. overall a VERY good movie and worth watching. some things i really didn't like though (the Freddy Kruger look-alike, the lame, not scary 1950's ghost family, the gas mask was STUPID and unintentionally hilarious, the terribly not funny but trying to be Leigh Whannell and bearded guy assistants, and some ridiculous behavior/actions from the parents. if there's a bloody adult sized hand print on the bed spread of your child wouldn't you take your kids out on the front porch while waiting for your husband to come home and NOT leave them inside the house to fend for themselves while YOU alone wait outside?!!!! LOL).

and this is NOT the "Most Terrifying Film Since THE EXORCIST". that reviewer should watch more movies. try THE CHANGELING, THE SHINING, etc. etc etc.

It truly scared the hell out of me, that's all I expect from a horror film. Sure the second half isn't as good but it's still solid. I would love to see it again but don't know if I can even stomach it again. I never really have been that scared by a horror film before, most modern horror is just by the books. Some of the images in this film really stay with u and it's not always by choice. LOL

Nice cover art too

I definitely agree. This is one of the scariest films I've seen. It goes to show you that a PG-13 horror film could still do the trick. Hopefully "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" will pursue.

This was one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. It deserves all of the praise (and the money!) it received. It was so refreshing to see an original horror movie that actually managed to be terrifying...and it was only PG-13 as well! I hope to see many more films like this in the future, hopefully they'll put an end to the remakes/reboots that Hollywood has become so fond with lately.
